Abstract: 1,072,907. Impulse transmitters.. ASSOCIATED ELECTRICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. Nov.. 16, 1965 [Dec. 3, 1964] No. 49218/64. Heading H4K. In a dial-type impulse trans. mitter the coupling which links the finger-plate to a cam oper. ating the impulse springs disengages if during the return motion the finger plate is forcibly returned to normal faster than the governor demands. The impulse transmitter is similar to that described in Specification (Application No. 49217/64) in having an eddycurrent type brake as governor and a single plastics moulding providing the impulse-springs cam, the off-normal-spring cam and worm-gear drive to the governor. One form of coupling linking the finger plate to the moulding, which is also disclosed in the above Specification is shown in Fig. 4 which is a front view with the finger-plate removed, of normally being fixed to a concentric metal plate 8. The plastics moulding 6 having worm teeth 6A and impulse teeth (which cannot be seen in this Figure) is freely rotatable beneath the plate 8 but is linked to it by the catch 22 which is carried on the underside of plate 8 by a pin 16 and which contacts a pin 36 carried on the topside of the moulding. Clockwise movement of the plate 8 during the setting movement also rotates the moulding with the catch remaining as shown up against pin 36, where it remains during the return motion if the finger plate is released. If the finger plate is not released but is returned manually faster than the moulding, the catch leaves pin 36 and on reaching spring 23 carried by a fixed member 7 rotates clockwise to engage a lug on the member 7 and so lock the finger-plate in its normal position until released by the return of the moulding. In an alternative arrangement shown in Fig. 21 the spring 23 of Fig. 4 now shown as 81 is carried by the plate 75 (plate 8 of Fig. 4) and in the position shown urges the catch against pin 64D on the moulding. If during the return motion the finger plate is rotated faster than the moulding the catch disengages from pin 64D and the toggle action of the spring 81 rotates the catch anticlockwise. The finger-plate on its arrival at the normal position is locked by the catch engaging lug 60C and remains locked until the return of the moulding. In this arrangement the finger stop is carried by the supporting framework of the mechanism, all of which is contained in a dust-proof housing, of which the number-plate forms a press-on lid.

Title: Mobile storage unit for storage assemblies
IPC: B65G1/10
Filed: 1974-11-15
Abstract: At least one bearing frame can be moved on wheels along a path between two fixed bearing frames of a bearing frame system (A, E) by means of reversible electric motors mounted on the bearing frame (B, C, D) in order to create a passage (G) between the bearing frames. Mounted on each longitudinal side of the bearing frame is a set of switches (LR, LF) which are actuated in each case by a different bearing frame. In order to guarantee that the bearing frame to be moved is moved up entirely, each switch (LR, LF) in each set is assigned to a switch in the other set, so that a pair of switches (LR, LF) is formed in each case. This pair of switches (LR, LF) is assigned to an electric motor (M), so that upon actuation each switch interrupts the circuit to the assigned electric motor (M) in order to stop the section of the bearing frame on which the pair of switches is arranged. <IMAGE>
